dwm.exe

Dwm.exe memory leak when resizing simple WinForm application

I created very simple Winform application in VS2010 (just a standard template File->New->Project->C# Windows Forms Application).

After several form resizes the system memory consumption can increase by 1Gb or more! And this memory is not returned to the system after application closing. Selecting Classic theme or killing dwm.exe helps to get memory back.

Here is the simple video I recorded to show the problem: http://youtu.be/ZJMCayflrHI

Pressing F12 while the program is running in the debugger should break the execution and open the debugger. This works correctly on Windows XP (tested with D2007 and XE2) but fails on Windows 7 and 8 (also tested with D2007 and XE2; tested on three computers).

Just curious, say, if I enumerate all processes running in a user's session, is there any way to tell which are Windows system processes (such as explorer.exe, taskhost.exe, dwm.exe, etc.) and which are processes started by a user?

After installing new theme from Microsoft (http://windows.microsoft.com/hr-HR/windows/downloads/snowflakes-and-frost-theme) my Windows 7 lost all its transparency (Aero) effects and placed Windows Basic as the actual theme.I've been googling for my problem for an hour now and I have not found any solutions. All my attempts to fix this issue have failed.

I've tried running the standard wizard for for fixing transparency problems and I got a response:Desktop Window Manager i

This might be a more difficult question since I don't even know how to do it outside of Python...

I want to write a terminal program that completely locks up my PC until a password is entered. In the locked state no one should be able to do anything outside the terminal. In it, the user may rampage and write silly commands, but he should not be able to switch windows, click outside of it, open the task manager, open the menu with Ctrl + Alt Gr + Del and so on.

I have a rather large VB6 application that features dragging and dropping controls between sub forms in an MDI application. The problem is the performance is really bad during the drag operation. You can see the element redrawing (slowly) as you drag it.

I first encountered this issue in Windows 7 and after some research concluded that it was a compatibility issue with the Aero interface. I was able to work around it by switching off the Aero effects. Now I am using Windows 8 the problem

I am in the process of migrating an existing legacy project. For now we want to use C++/CLI as a bridge between business logic (native C++) and interface (WPF). I followed this MSDN article on how to host WPF content in a Win32 window as a starting point. However, I cannot wrap my head around this problem: Whenever I resize the host window...

There are serious delays and the window is repainting slowly.It causes the Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe) to increase dramatically in mem

I kill explorer.exe using runTime.exec() method and then rerun it in my application. And at the last when i closed my application using system.exit(0); form application closes but java application seems to be run in netbeans' status bar. After i kill the explorer.exe process task manager and rerun it via task manager java application ends.

The windows system process (in Windows 7 for this example) 'csrss.exe' runs as a SYSTEM process and when I go to get (programmatically, of course) the process list with pid, command line, and image path name I get no values for command line or image path name because Windows won't let you grab that information for a SYSTEM process (I believe).

Is there a way I can grab image path name from a SYSTEM process? Does Windows actually prevent you from doing this? Is there a workaround?

I have an automated build system set up on a Windows box, but one of the compiling tools randomly fail to work. The whole system works as a service, so it has no interaction with users. I detect the failure by looking at the DW20.exe process. The failed process waits for a user to click a button, so it stops the whole build system.

Can I prevent Windows Error Reporting from waiting for user actions for a particular process (or a particular Windows user)?

I've create Impersonation id which are include WindowsIdentity and WindowsImpersonationContext and I've add the Impersonation in my authentication application after the service is running for a while the lsass.exe process is consuming a lot of memory and CPU Could you please advice me how to solve this issue?

I have a CLI.exe developed by mono and want to control it by PHP.My idea is let the CLI keep readline as its input, after this, we can get a PID of this CLI.Next, Let PHP scripts send commands to this CLI as CLI's input via PID(or something else).But I don't know if there's any PHP func can do this or how.Any help is appreciate!
